Chapter 110
YOYO was startled.
She had also heard of Shen Tang's previous reputation for being very strong. YOYO was so skinny herself that she was not even as strong as Shen Tang's two fists.
However, she glanced around. There were so many people here that she did not believe Shen Tang would actually do that.
Shen Tang could not possibly disregard her reputation entirely.
But she really did disregard it!
YOYO did not dodge, so Shen Tang grabbed her collar and walked towards the swimming pool.
YOYO was so frightened she was dumbstruck. "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Zhou Qinglian also tried to pull them back, but the two women's strength compared to Shen Tang's was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They were still uncontrollably getting closer and closer to the pool.
This move really frightened many people.
"Stop her quickly!"
"This... isn't necessary..."
"President Gu, are you just going to watch this happen to your wife?"
Perhaps not expecting Gu Huaian to say such words, the others did not know whether they should step forward to stop it or not.
If they got involved, and he resented them, what would happen?
They had come here to meet business partners, not to make enemies.
So for a moment, no one stepped forward to help.
Zhou Qinglian was furious inside, hating the indifference of the people around her, and afraid that she would be implicated as well.
If Shen Tang took the opportunity to push her in too, it would be so embarrassing.
YOYO was also scared to death, clinging tightly to Zhou Qinglian and Shen Tang's arms and not letting go.
At the edge of the pool, YOYO trembled uncontrollably. "I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have falsely accused you. Don't throw me in..."
She really could not swim. She had not been faking when she nearly drowned before. She had truly almost drowned.
But she had not been too afraid earlier since people had been arranged nearby just in case.
However, the sensation of nearly drowning had still left her with some psychological trauma. She was genuinely very afraid of being tossed in by Shen Tang.
Now no one was helping, so she worried that if she was thrown in this time, no one would come to save her and she might really drown!
She was truly frightened now.
The people around had not expected this to be the truth. They had assumed Shen Tang pushed the girl in.
Cen Songbai gave a cold snort. "See? I said she fell in herself."
"Tsk!"
Perhaps because YOYO had been holding on too tightly, Zhou Qinglian cried out in pain on reflex and pushed her a little. YOYO almost fell in, but was grabbed by one of Shen Tang's arms and pulled back up.
That's right, just one arm.
"Wow!"
She had lost all face today. She would not be able to show herself in public after this.
Zhou Qinglian took one more look at them before following after YOYO.
The people around gradually dispersed as well. They did want to keep watching the lively scene, but not with Gu Huaian here. This was not a show they could watch.
In fact, Shen Tang had not truly intended to push her in.
Of course, if YOYO kept clinging and refusing to let go, who knew what would have happened.
About Cen Songbai's earlier words, Shen Tang asked in a low voice, "Did you really get it on video?"
"I got it, but it wasn't clear."
Cen Songbai sighed. Otherwise he would have presented it already.
It was fortunate his sister-in-law was quite capable. If it were someone else, they might have had to swallow this injustice.
Gu Yun'an timidly walked up to Shen Tang and bowed deeply to her, saying softly, "I'm sorry."
Gu Huaian's face was cold as he scolded, "Louder! Haven't eaten?"
"I'm sorry!"
As soon as Gu Yun'an said this, tears streamed down her face. No one knew if it was from fear, distress, or something else.
This was Shen Tang's first time seeing Gu Huaian act so fierce.
She wanted to take out a tissue, but realized the dress she was wearing had no pockets.
Cen Songbai quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yun'an. "Use this if you don't mind."
Gu Yun'an accepted the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Shen Tang then spoke, "Why are you apologizing?"
"I...I knew their plans but didn't tell you..."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do. Sister Lian had tried to commit suicide and been hospitalized because of me before. I was afraid she would try again, so I...I agreed to help her trap you to make my brother happy..."
As Gu Yun'an spoke, she broke down bawling.
She knew she had done wrong, but also felt wronged because she had not actually done anything. Yet her brother still scolded her.
The reason Gu Huaian had come over so late was because he had been berating Gu Yun'an.
He was not a good-tempered man. Though he did not curse, his words were unbearable.
Gu Yun'an cried inconsolably. Shen Tang sighed and walked over to put her arm around her, gently comforting, "Don't cry. I'm not blaming you."
If she had truly wanted to do something, Zhou Qinglian would not have come down personally just now.
Sometimes, having no one to offer comfort was better. Having someone comfort you made it harder to control your emotions.
Thinking that she was like this yet Shen Tang did not blame her, Gu Yun'an felt even more guilty and could not stop her tears.
With a plop, a snot bubble emerged.
She froze for a moment, noticing the barely suppressed smiles on the three faces before her. Gu Yun'an cried even louder.
She had truly embarrassed herself tremendously!
